Tonight on Mysteries of The Universe!

The members of this forum have not jumped to a conclusion on the rumor about new armor in an upcoming map pack and are staying optimistic. But little do they know, that a secret still lurks around these unclear observations...
Will they solve this Mystery?
Could this armor be real and obtainable through the purchase of the map pack? or simply just another fake conspiracy with a simple explanation? Find out on the next exiting map pack release of Halo: REACH!
tun-tun-tuuntun-tuuuuunnnnnn-tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.


How are you sure it's the exiting map pack? They probably have at least one more map pack coming. Since Halo 3 had three map packs.



Halo 3 had 4 map packs and 1 bonus map.

Let me hear you sound off
Let them know how you feel
If the anger inside is real
Sound off
Long before the bridges are burned
The powers to be are going to hear your words

This looks like EOD with an unusable attachment like those found when performing the Hologram glitch. You can see the EOD helmet's visor and one of the rebreather-things in picture 5. Explained.

You can generate unusable attachments using said glitch, such as an ODST helmet with a flashlight on it similar to the flashlight Mickey from Halo 3: ODST wears.

I am not in any way saying I am 100% correct, or even 50% correct for that matter. Just stating what I've noticed.

You don't kick a man when they're down, so don't teabag me when I'm dead!

I'd sort of like that too, but the thing is, considerable evidence has been put forward as to why Bungie can't add to things already on the disc other than map variants. I have no idea how it works though, so here's hoping :)

I would love that so much, just to prove all the people who said it impossible wrong |:)

Please re-read my post. I said it is possibly an unusable attachment like those that can be created through the Hologram glitch.

He gots smarts.


1. The gameplay footage was during a game so the glitch couldnt be done.

2. If is something that has been seen while doing the glitch it only proves that this is Disk Locked Content that may be unlocked with new map pack.

3. I was thinking about adding armor, and I thought of a new possibility. (Modders who have explored the files may be able to refute it, but its just a guess). The map files that load could actually be "part" files that are extracted into an xbox's memory. Currently they only look for 1 part of the file, but more could be added and loaded in sequence. Something like this.

Swordbase gets picked, it loads the base map file from the disk and then loads the Swordbase add on file from the dlc

I have no idea if that is even possible, but its a guess.

Personally I think its more likely that the armor is disk locked content that modders cant get to.

red flames.....blue flames, assault rifle's and star's. which is better what has been earned or what has been given?

wether is is about life's desicions or about a simple game it's what makes us who we really are

well the thing that confirms that there DEFINATELY will be more armour is the fact that when you are offline you will see the commendation progress. But not the armor it never show %10, etc.

why sho commendation progress offline but not armor? cause the commendations are absolute, armor will be variable.

we will need an internet connection fot it since thay will add some, thus changing the percentage.

i know i'm goping over the top to explain. but some people just like to say no to everything. even if more armour is a good thing.

  • 02.18.2011 3:32 AM PDT

something that people seem to be completely oblivious to, is the fact that it is also wearing a black collar around its shoulders.

this collar is not an existing armor piece, it is not the Collar/grenadier or the collar/Breacher because the breacher does not go all the way around and the Grenadier is much larger and is always your armor color.

this person is on red team and has a black armor piece, therefore this armor piece will not have a changeable color.

  • 02.18.2011 4:18 AM PDT

but the attatchment that the helmet is wearing is currently non existent. there is no single camera lense attachment to wear. also look at its black collar chest piece.

shame he still hasnt figured out how to spell exciting though.

bring on the new armor, just to annoy the nae-sayers, i think we should round up all the posts of people who said that "new armor is impossible" and keep them in one thread so that when we get new armor we can all point and laugh at them and watch them squirm and worm their way out of what they said :D

  • 02.18.2011 4:25 AM PDT

Like the hologram glitch! Its in game! might as well use it!

D: so in about 2500 posts and 80 something pages we have accompished nothing...


no half of this thread saying this is a helmet we have already the other half saying it is new, nothing has been accomplish you just cause a -blam!- load of dividing everyone. Nothing has been confirm! Not saying it is not a new helmet I am waiting for it to be confirm

  • 02.18.2011 4:42 AM PDT

this helmet as got to be disc locked content, same goes for the mystery of the knife in the back showing in the hologram glitch, or kat's default chest with robot arm, or even bungie's blue flaming helmet armor effect. all these have got to be in the disc but their locked. not even hackers can get them... same thing happen with recon on halo 3, hackers couldn't get it because it was disc locked.

  • user homepage:

How much repeatability will new armors add to Reach? Most left due to gameplay, a new armor perm won't bring people back unless it's only added with a certain task that must be accomplished to unlock them. The last DLC proved that it didn't add new or bring back customers to Reach. Armor perms are only visible to the user in the lobby, death, and assassinations.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

While looking through the conceptual art for Reach, I found THIS.

Take a look at the helmet in the middle in the bottom row. It looks a little like our mystery helmet...
